[NFBF-Tampa] Information from Self-Reliance, center for Independent Living

[Barbara Gaw]

Hello Tampa NFB Chapter members,

 

I hope all is well with everyone.  I would like to share some news from
Self-Reliance, Inc. our center for independent living here in Tampa.
Self-Reliance is now providing FREE white folding canes for residents of
Hillsborough County.  So if you have misplaced or broken your white cane and
are not interested in waiting for one to be shipped to you, don't want the
rigid cane provided by the national NFB office, or really don't want to pay
the 40 or 50 dollars you will be charged by the Lighthouse, go to
Self-Reliance for a new folding cane.  The address is 8901 N. Armenia Av.
Tampa, FL.  The phone number for Self-Reliance is (813)375-3965.  If you
need a special length other than the ones they have in stock, one will be
ordered for you; it will probably be received within a day or two.  You
won't be responsible for ordering it online or mailing off a cane request.

 

In other news from Self-Reliance, we will now be offering a scholarship for
students with disabilities who live in Hillsborough County to be used for
post-secondary education.  The scholarship application and requirements will
be available soon on our website at Self-Reliance.org.  If you know of
anyone who is planning on going to or is currently in college, planning on
going to or is enrolled at a technical school and has a documented
disability, please share this information.  Good luck to all who apply!

 

Have a great week,

Barbara Gaw
